fun concept: loose or firm ethnic associations for your character casts, I’m uncertain for some of mine for instance but i wanna get some stuff cemented for SEMI REALISTIC NON-ANIME PORTRAITS
idk if this was a call to action but I’m doing it anyway, I MAKE NO DEMANDS, just that ignorant little me did the majority of my character design in grade 7 or high school and everyone was So White, which I don’t imagine anymore
Char: pacific islander - Polynesian - Hawaiian, all baby me’s headcanons about him being white are WRONG
Ree: pacific islander - Polynesian - Samoan, rock climbing warrior queen who could destroy you all, secretly kiki’s #armgoals
Kiki: traditionally pale as hell, but in retrospect, not so much.. biracial –> pacific islander (Hawaiian) + birth mom’s white heritage
Katherine: also biracial, fam’s been on the island a long time and loved branching out the family tree, a nice rainbow wheel on her Ancestry.com dna results but largely a mix of Scottish, Greek, and Hawaiian
Tommy: the hell if he knows his background and refuses to go down that road because the potential of Pokemon Genes freaks him out, sandy blonde white child
Twins: mom’s melting pot + sperm donor’s lovely Irish genes, more fair-skinned than she is but freckled beyond belief
Braedon: white - Greek - immortality / undeadship has some transformative effects over the centuries (blue/silvering of the hair, slightly pointed ears, nothing as pronounced as spirits)
like I said before, I love that the Sootopolitans are now more reflective of islanders, and sorry for taking so long to finally doing this myself 8′) same boat, everyone was So White at the start, but now it’s a much different story for quite a few
Windsor: white - English - son of English nobles and a lucrative trading family that began forging trade relations in Taiwan prior to the East India Trading Company formally establishing a route there*; blonde and blue-eyed, The Invading White Man, and the unfortunate personality to match for eons after
Lila (Romanized from “Li") - Taiwanese native with ambiguous heritage but appears mostly Chinese, took on a Romanized name to get closer to black market trades and to get her hands on English goods for her witchery (ha)*
Elizabeth, Clair, Blackthorns - English noble family, with some extensions of the family marrying into Chinese in an effort to cement accords
Yuan - biracial half-Chinese (mother) half-Icelandic/white (father), silver colors hair that would have been black, softer features
Kaden, Nari - predominately Russian, pale, black-haired and blue eyed with all that snakey goodness that is nearly impossible to track via ancestry.com
Faith - biracial half-British Caribbean (father) half-African-American (mother), father was also biracial (white/black) and is deceased brother to Devin
Kita - fourth generation Brazilian, yanked away from family and home at an extremely young age and cult-raised by the Amethya Society
Candace - one hell of a white, American, west coast girl
Satine - claims to be Macedonian - Slavic if pressed, not exactly white, doesn’t reveal her origins, not easily defined
Ira - ??? evil books, shapeshifter
*Origins may be modified
